At p. m. it still rains. And it raineth
with vlllainous tenaeity of purpose and a
diabollcal desire to deluge this camp that no
amount of fearful monkeying with the poker
deck, no amount of loving converse with the
lnvld1ous kaleidoscope, no amount of sweet
intercourse with the curious menagerie, no
amount of any of the delights of camp life
can compensate for.
1t really is awful.
The camp has become as wet and soggy as
piece of dough. The streets have become
mud pdddles. They are not nearly as bad
as the streets of Mantle, however, where
the mud and slush is knee deep.
This mud is of the sort that would drive
Montowese wild with envious admiration,

things, natural or constructed, that are not
in themselves neat as on the sunshiniest day
that ever dawned. But the rain has brought
with it one blessing. There have been no
drills since morning-there couldn't have
been any.
The Light Guard had thirty-seven men on

A NEW bridge over tho Trinity is
needed. The travel from the city
west is of such magnitude that awider
and safer bridge is absolutely neccs-
sity. The present structure at the
foot of Commerce street is too narrow,
too inconvcnient and difficult of APP
proach, dangerous on account Of
proximity of railway tracks, and the
bridge Is by no means secure.
A first-class structure, such rs the
commerce and travel Of this city and
county would require, and wide
enough for convenience and safety,
will cost but little if any more than
the county will be forced to pay in
damage suit if the demand for a new
bridge is not soon complied with;
for it is very general opinion that
the present structure cannot last much
longer without serious accident.
Our commissioners are sensible
conservative men, and will be apt to
see the matter in its true light. The
county is well able to meet any OK
pense which the convenience and
safety of its people require.

A BOLD GAME.

The Ants expect to capture the
Democratic party organization, by
overrunning the Democratic prima-
ries with German and colored Repub-
licans who contributed SO largely to
the defeat of prohibition, and electing
as delegates only anti-prohibitionists
Of course, Mills policy of adopting
an anti plank and "purging the party"
cannot be carried out among
the bona fide Democrats; so the
10000 Germans who have always voted
Republican, and who, as evidenced by
their coalition with the anti-prohibi-
ton Democrats in Iowa, are ready to
belong to any party which will oppose
prohibition and the Sunday laws,
together with the 10000 colored
Republicans will be called upon to come
and save the party. "They will not
DO permitted to do that" you say.
Well how cali it be helped?
The leaders of the Anti
party have declared the anti plank
must 90 in they know the Democrats
will not adopt it, but it must be done
at all hazards. "But," says one, it
will force many good Democrats out
of the party" What does that mat
ter? The party must be saved to the
liquor traffic, and no better oppor-
tunity will ever be presented than
now. "The loss of 10000 or $4,000
of the 100000 pro Democrats
can readily be made up by
double that number of German and
colored Republicans" says an ardent
anti But that is not all OF the plan I;
the ants will not be satisfied with the
mere filling the places of the pro
Democrats, with these new recruits,
but the new converts will be called
in and with usual zeal Of new converts
will help kick out the pro Democrats.
These men who have so
long been enemies to Democracy,
and in every contest fought
for It's de;eat. will now be invited to
come within sle household and aid in
managing affairs after such fashion
that many Democrats will leave in
disgust. This is tho plan. Mark it.
Pro Democrats will dispute the right
of the enemy in the Democratic pri-
maries. The State Chairman viii be
appealed to; and his decision will be
that any one who will subscribe to
the faith and pledge his inten-
ton to vote for the nominees
will be qualified to vote in the Or
ganization Of the party and on its
declaration of principles. The fight
will be won the victory will be CON-
plete- unless every observation-disclosures
crat, whether his vote was for or
against the amendment, will rise in
his might at the primaries and vote
down this bold bad scheme for the
disruption of the Democratic party.
viii they do it?

Wild Ponies on the Southern Coast.

On the banks or sand bars that di-
vide the Atlantic Ocean from Pamlico
Sound, North Carolina, Just inside the
lighthouse that marks out to the mar
iner dreaded Cape Lookout, there is
to be found hardy race of ponies
known as Bankers" These ponies
have lived there as long as the ira
dition of the oldest inhabitant dates
back. Entirely surrounded by deep
water at all seasons, having no COM
munication with the mainland, and
being barren of vegetation save q
scanty growth of sedge grass and low
shrubs, the banks have remained I'M
inhabited except by these ponies,
which seem to thrive and multiply in
spite of the hardships to which they
are exposed. How they first came
there, or of what origin, is conjecture,
and tradition merely hints the story of
violent storm, with its attendant
shipwreck and loss of all on board,
save lot of ponies from some Europ-
can port, which were cast upon the
sands, and surviving the storm be-
came the progenitors of the race of
Bankers now so numerous. Having
to rely on instinct, alone, these amin
ais are subject of study to the nat
uralist, as they are prey not only to
the driving sands but to the storms of
the Cape, that break upon and over
the narrow sand bar and change with
each recurring hurricane the topo-
graphy of the country The ponies,
choosing the protected side of the sand
hillocks, burrow deep into the yield
ing sand, and stamp out protected
stall where they take refuge from the
storm; and, while many are destroyed,
their number has incr eased. -Anseri-

Blowing Up Camels.

Moorish traders in camelS seem to
be no more honestthan Yankee traders
in horses have the reputation of being.
The author of Among the Arabs" de-
scribes one of their tricks, which, ac-
cording to his account, only an expert
is likely to detect Such an ingenious
method Of raising the wind" might
put even the shrewdest American to
the blush. The story was told to the
author by a Frenchman, who had
travelled for some time in Algiers.
On one occasion, while in an Arab
village, he declared his intention of
buying young camel. No sooner had
his desire become known than at least
twenty camels were brought for his
inspection.
They were all fine-looking animals,
in excellent condition, apparently. In
fact, the only fault our Frenchman
could perceive was that they were too
fat. After q proper amount of delib-
Grafton and bargaining, he selected the
one which appeared to be the leanest,
and paid the price agreed upon.
The next morning, when he went to
look at his fat camel, he found a living
skeleton, on whose almost fieshlesS
bones skin hung in large folds and
whose best development was about the
joints.
The method by which the cameIs
arc suddenly ''fattened" for the market
is thus described:
An incision about an inch in length
is made in each ear between the skin
and the flesh. Into this small tube
is fitted and secured from observation
from all but the initiated and ready for
use at any moment.
When a merchant who is not ac-
quainted with the blowing ND trick
comes to buy camel the dealer takes
two tubes, each yard long, and, in
serting one end of each in the small
tubes just described, through the other
ends two Arabs blow with all their
might, until the animal has attained
the requisite degree of plumpness.
The initiating tubes are then Withdrawn
and the air is prevented from escaping
by means of cork smeared with
pitch.
The poor camel now becomes. ap-
parently, quite lively and frisky, try
ing to throw itself on the ground, or
to press against the wall or tree, or
whatever other object may be at hand,
so as to get rid of the wind. 1t is
generally too well watched by the
rascally Arab to succeed in accom-,
plishing its purpose.
Sometimes, however, il manages tc
elude his vigilance; and then if the
cork is not very securely fastened,
the wind escapes with whistle like
that of steam-engine, and the fine
looking beast suddenly collapses into
the miserable object it really is

The Family Parse.

Gail Hamilton writes in the Cos
mopOtttdn for August upon the domes-
tic money question. THE relation OF
money" she says, ''is but one of the
many relations that should feel the be.
nlgn and shaping touch of woman. II
Is chiefly important because of its
mnlsterlng power, because it is
servant of servants to its brethren. II
Is not to be disposed of by setting up a
separate purse, any more than
by setting up a separate child. If a
man counts woman fit to be the
mother of his children. it is little that
she should be fit to expend money fo1
their rearing. If a man is gentle and
soft enough to come into tender con-
tact with his little childran, he must
be malieabte enough to be shaped
Alright in regard to the money that
they and their mother require. OF
course, if a man is oyerbrutal. and the
mother oyersilly, there must be
disaster, whether there be one purse
or twenty, or none. There may well
be women who have no sense about
money, Just as there are women who
do not know how to bring up children.
1t is a defect of character. Such
women are failure in proportion to
their defects, and their defective work. ii
can not be denied, is evil But if both
husband and wife are of the common
type, honest, sincere. devoted, and
fairly sensible, a patient, continuous,
and unloyely process of consultation
and compromise will bring them
eventually into clear understanding
of relative values

HOW THE TURKS MAKE COFFEE.

A special word for the coffee is needed.
The Turkish coffee is seldom liked at
first by strangers, but it does not take
long for one to learn to like that go well
that no other coffee ever tastes half so
goUd. There is small brass thing be
tween q dipper and kettle with capa-
city for two, four or more cups marked
upon it. Into this is put cold water, a
teaspoon heaping full of sugar for each
cup and a small te&spoonfal of coffee
ground as fine as flour for each person.
These are added to the cold water, and
then the ebrick, or coffee kettle, is push
ed down into the Goals of the manga, or
brazier, and just as it is on the point of
boiling, before it does the coffee is pour
ed into tiny porcelain cups, which hold
as much as half an egg shell. This cup
is then placed into a beautiful gold or
silver filagree coffee holder, and is served
with a tray of glasses of water. First
you drink the water to leave your mouth
clean enough to appreciate to the full the
delicious aroma of the coffee. No milk
or cream is added and the coffee is thick
with grounds, and on top of each cup
should be foam called kaimac, or cream.
As soon as you enter karen the chief
lady, or bascadine hanum, claps her
hands and the caffeejee, or coffee bearer,
brings coffee.-Ohve Harper in Phils-
delphia Times.

Made by Volcanic Rocks.

A writer in The Lotcer Lake (CaI.1
Bulletin SAYS: From the western slope
of the precipitous peaks on the south
shore of Thurston lake the little curl
of smoke seen rising, morning and
evening, as from camp fire, gives
rise to much speculation. There,
among the crevices of volcanic rocks,
two hundred feet above the water. is
that curious cave, known to but few,
even of our earliest pioneers; the en-
trance hidden among the manzanitas
and rosebuds, its existence was made
known to a hardy hunter only by
chance. Creeping along through the
underbrush, cold draft of air from
the crevice of the adjacent rocks, is
the first notice any one has of an I'M
foreground aperture; moving on with
difficulty along the opening, suddenly
it widens out, and the glimmering
light battles with the darkness in front
of him. Limiting torch, one per-
ceives that The black, obsidian rocks
have been hurled together in such a
shape as to form an immense room,
the ceiling so lofty as to be hidden in
Zimmerman darkness, whilst the torch
light, rejecting and falling back from
the Jagged, shining points of the obsi-
dian ring, make the adventurer be-
lieve he is in a hall of diamonds.
The floor slopes gently down, and is
covered with hard, white sand. Pro-
ceeding down to the back of this hall,
a tunnel-like entry way is perceived,
still leading down, and the declivity
so steep as to necessitate care in fol-
lowing it.
Passing this hallway, in its circuit
Gus course, at about fifty yards it mar
rows SO that but one person can tread
it at time, then slowly widening out
to the right, one enters another large
room, quite warm, and of reddish
colored rock, like jasper. The heat
appears to come in puffs, from longi-
tudinal rift in the floor of this depart
ment, about four feet in width of evil
dent immense depth, and down which
the hoarse rumbling noises of sudden
thunder are heard. Across on the
other side, the torchlight Pickering
discloses the cavern still yawning,
grand, awful, mysterious and sloping
downward in its course, but it is said
that none have been found hardy
enough to leap the rift and explore
what may be beyond.
1t is said that around the outside of
the cave are found cartridge shells,
remnants of fires, bones, cut wood,
and every indication of a continuous
camp.
Who can it be, secreting himself in
this mysterious and dread spot? Ger
tainly no one would select such hab-
itation for pleasure, and if for other
reasons it is possible that some dread
and desperate criminal has here found
a place in which he can hide and cheat
retributive justice?
